8:51 pm
very basis of our society, are all under attack. in will play a key role allowing us to take back the united states senate this fall for the freedom of this country. decisive in be selecting the next president of the united states. there are republicans in washington who say we ought to settle for fixing ms. health law within the framework of the health law. they are saying that because they have not read this health law. if they had, they would know that it is rotten to the core. [applause] and i urge you to choose the president of the united states who will fully repeal this law.
8:52 pm
[applause] a president who will reign in the government spending. president who will take duty.sly his or her and defendto uphold the constitution of the united states. law shreds your constitutional rights. it lowers your standard of care. it puts government in charge of your care. and it takes away something as precious as life itself. your liberty. this law requires almost everyone to enroll in a one-size-fits-all government design health plan. when you go to file your taxes, you have to attach proof for the irs that you are enrolled in
8:53 pm
such a plan. attaching the proof will shield you from an iris penalty. to at will subject you degree of government control and intrusion unprecedented in american history. for the first time in american theory, this law empowers secretary of health and human how doctorsdictate treat privately insured patients, so even if you have at night or cigna, and you paid for it out of your own pocket, the government can still call the shots. 1311 h1-b of this law -- that is right. read it and you will see. pay only insurers can those dr.'s and hospitals that
8:54 pm
obey whatever regulations the secretary imposes in the name of quality. that blanket authority can cover everything in medicine. ton a cardiologist decides use a stent. when an ob/gyn orders a sonogram or does a cesarean. your doctor will be legally required to enter your medical into a nationwide intraoperative electronic database seen by thousands of eyes. your doctor's decisions will be monitored for compliance with these government guidelines which are being written right now. , your doctor may have to choose between doing what is right for you and avoiding a government penalty. said that he was going to solve the problem of the uninsured by making health plans more affordable, but
8:55 pm
that's not what happened. you have gotten your premium hikes in the mail, right? istead, what this law does it vastly expands medicaid and pays for it by eviscerating medicare. billion out of medicare over this decade, and moves it over to fund the expansion of medicaid and the subsidies on the exchanges. it is robbing grandma to spread the wealth. that's right. foster, the president's chief actuary, warned that the cuts to medicare are so severe that some hospitals may stop taking medicare. seniors go when their local hospital stops taking medicare? other hospitals are already responding to the severity of
8:56 pm
these cuts by laying off nurses everywhere. knowise people -- if you you are going into the hospital to surgery, for example, try cobble together enough money for a private duty nurse, at least for the first night. because when you push that button for pain control or help in the middle of the night, you are going to wait too long. boomer, 60are a baby or 61, line up your doctors now. line-up a cardiologist. line-up an internist, even if you are healthy. because if you wait until you turn 65 and go on medicare, you will not be able to find a doctor willing to take you on as a new patient. doctors are paid less to care for seniors than any other kind of patient. and in addition to these across-the-board cuts to awardse, section 3001 bonus points to the hospital
8:57 pm
that spends the least for seniors. think about that. not per se -- not per patient. per senior. we know hospitals in the bottom quintile for spending for seniors have higher death rates for congestive heart your, pneumonia, other common maladies of the elderly. older patients in those hospitals have a poorer chance of surviving their illness and making it home again. thethis law is pressuring other hospitals to imitate the hospitals that have a high death rates. section 3001,, will also mean that you were replacements,p angioplasty,ents, bypass surgery, cataract operations. those are the five procedures that have virtually transformed the experience of aging in our country. when i was a kid, i remember that older people were trapped
8:58 pm
in wheelchairs with crippling arthritis, were stuck in nursing homes because they were so out of breath from congestive heart failure. now, older people enjoy their later years. they continue to work. they travel. they play with their grandchildren. they even come to meetings like this one. that's right. thatcare will undo progress. stakes are very high here, because if you are seriously ill , the best place to be is in the united states. oh yes. don't let anybody tell you differently. a woman in the united states diagnosed with breast cancer has nearly a 90% chance of surviving it. in europe, her chances are less than 80%. .ou do the arithmetic it means she is twice as likely
8:59 pm
to die there. a man diagnosed with prostate cancer in the united states -- it is not a death sentence here. nearly one out of every four men diagnosed with prostate cancer in europe dies from it. someone in your family has what we currently call an incurable illness, this is the nation of hope. this is where the chairs are developed. since 1950, the united states has one more nobel prizes in medicine and physiology than the entire rest of the world combined. and that is why defeating this law is the fight of our lifetime. that is right. we are not going to give up on this. [applause] congress should have taken this 2572 page bill and put it in the paper shredder, and given us a 20 page bill, in
9:00 pm
plain, honest english that members of congress would actually read before voting on it. 20 pages ought to be enough. the framers the entire federal government in just 18 pages. [applause] that's right. i've written the 20 page bill that will replace this. this thatvery size of makes it so dangerous. the chief architect of our constitution james madison wrote law.st congress passing a no one could read it. that arequently changed
9:01 pm
reasonable person would not know what the law is. that is obamacare to achieve. yes. president hass repeatedly rewritten, revised, deleted and delayed and distorted this law. so that the health clan he is rolling out now there's little to what it looks like in 2010. that is the most important reason we must win a sizable majority in the united states senate this fall. we must elect a new senate majority leader.
9:02 pm
a new senate majority leader that will have a chat with the and remind the president that in these united states -- [indiscernible] we must be able to dangle the sort of impeachment over this lawless president's had. not that we would actually want to put our nation through such an ordeal. but we must have a sufficient majority in the united states and it to make the threat credible because that threat is the tool that the framers gave us in our constitution to defend our freedom. that's right. [applause] vote out of office -- who has gained control and taken the government
9:03 pm
into their grips. administration, they have pushed federal spending up as high as 25 cents of gdp. and localdd state government spending and up to 42% of gdp. 42% of everything all of us produce going to work every day. 42% of the fruits of our labor are being sucked up by government programs. do you get 42% of your happiness from government? no. no. only once before in the entire history of this nation did government spending reach 42% of gdp. that was in the midst of world war ii when we were fighting for our survival as a nation. nothing today justifies the
9:04 pm
ofernment appropriating 42% the fruits of our labor. it's wrong. our government has been hijacked by people who don't share our values or value our freedom. the spendaholics are pushing government spending to commonly found in european countries. we don't want to be europeanized. no. toil toe, the people support the state. in america, we work to support ourselves. that's right.
9:05 pm
but now, the federal iraq receipt is run by the bureaucrats for the bureaucrats. they have taken the service out of civil service. it's gone. most of them are paid more than they would get in the private hector. more than we get in the private sector. it is virtually impossible to fire them. no accountability. employees taking home big bonuses at the end of the year even when they have been found guilty of not filing their own. -- their own taxes. imagine. a services administration employee on the front page of papers all across the united states sitting shirtless with a glass of wine at a las vegas boondoggle on the taxpayers money. he retired with full benefits.
9:06 pm
and how about this terrible story. suspended for 14 days for abandoning his patient unconscious before the surgery was completed. he left the medical center. he still gets an $11,000 bonus at the end of the year. these bureaucrats are living on easy street. they are putting us on the road serfdom.hem -- think about what has happened as a result. beenovernment has truly hijacked by people that don't share our values, don't value our freedom. they put the state ahead of the individual. our president is presiding over the downgrading of our economy and the degrading of our constitutional rights.
9:07 pm
i have a rendezvous with destiny. because we are going to elect the president of the united states that will fully repeal the obama health law. a president who will reign in the power and cost and size of this behemoth federal government. we should eliminate the department of energy, environmental protection, importantly,d most let's get rid of the department of the interior. the land belongs to us not the federal government. that's right. and we will elect a president that takes seriously his or her both
